[J Shuttlesworth]

Sup ISH? Haven't had much time to post here lately, but figured I'd share this gem with you:

If you don't know who they are, they are the "God Hates F*gs" people who protest funerals... Notoriously known for protesting dead soldiers funerals, and celebrities funerals such as Heath Ledger. Also known for brainwashing their kids into holding "God hates f*gs" signs. Example:

Props to Portland fans for holding it down :rockon: They were outside the arena in portland at the NBA game. Here's a pic of the counter-protesters:

A Blazer player came out of the closet?

A Blazer player came out of the closet?

The church said it would protest the Trail Blazers game against the Orlando Magic in response to the Portland team's support for Oregon's same-sex marriage initiative in 2013. In a news release this week, the church said the Trail Blazers had "punched the Lord Jesus Christ in the face."

The Blazers and their fans progressing their society :applause:

Is there anything these guys won't try to ruin? :biggums: :coleman:

[Imtheman]

These people give real Christians or Christians period a bad name

I fully support Westboro Baptist Church exercising their freedom of speech. Anyone who doesn't is really just a ****** pawn for the government.

Those Blazer fans are the definition of scum really. Thanks for posting the video.

Agree with this.

I see people on facebook spending so much time trying to slander the westboro baptist church and I can't help but laugh. Just ignore them and they'll go away.

[Dresta]

:roll:

How can you just not laugh at these people? At least they're keeping their hatreds to cardboard signs rather than mass-executions, though. That's about as civilised as it gets among the crazies in this day and age.

[Combat Wombat]

"God hates ****", eh?

Hit you pretty hard, didn't it, OP?

So youre saying that the westboro church can have freedom of speech but the protesters of the protesters dont deserve their freedom of speech?

do some brain exercises, you might be able to access more than 1% at a time.

[triangleoffense]

oh you still believe in god? cute.

[triangleoffense]

:lol at this ******.

Those blazers fans were not protesting.. that was intimidation and more or less harassment. Getting in peoples faces like that and banging their cars is a way to incite violence. There's a clear line there that was crossed.
no one really cares what happens to those people, religious nuts are essentially mentally retarded but get away with it because they are considered non-profits.

what exactly were they doing then? Were they not protesting the WBC, or do you classify it as rioting? What was this "clear line" that was crossed and nobody got arrested for?
nothing in that video indicates someones rights were violated or any illegal activity happened. by rights created by the government, WBC was allowed freedom of speech by protest, and by the same rights created by the government, the public offsetted them. done deal. now go ahead and take my advice and do some brain exercises, you might access more than that 1 percent you have clearly shown that you are only able to achieve.

Weren't the Blazers fans just exercising their speech rights, too? Cuts both ways.

So only pawns of the government dont back people who mock the family of dead soldiers...showing up spouting hate speech at the hardest time of their lives?

People against a group that brainwashes children to hate...are the definition of scum?

They^ arent scum the people...against them...are scum?

To cloak defense of these idiots in freedom of speech is a joke. Freedom of speech has always ended where the greater good begins. Thats why you arent free...to yell fire in a crowded place. You arent free....to call the director of the CIA and threaten to kill him. You arent free to say obscene things to children.

There comes point...where freedom of speech is just a weapon cloaked in the Constitution...and at that point it no longer applies.

Teaching this kind of hate to people...children..is dangerous. That they arent physically stopped is a testament to the respect people have for the freedoms they abuse.

Simply...counter protesting? Thats just their own tactics used against them.

Calling the people scum for it is worse than a joke. Its pathetic.



Agree with this.

Hardly shocking.....

[gcvbcat]

The fans would run with their tails between there legs if there was even one jihadi with a gun.

[dontgetchoked]

"god hates pants" :oldlol:

[Dro]

Good for the Blazer fans...Can't stand ignorant ass religious folks...They don't know sh*t....Maybe they should study the history of their own religions and they'll realize they're all being hypocritical themselves and talking out of their ass......

[Ariza4three]

Just the fact that they are brainwashing little girls makes me want to beat the living shit out of all them.

[JellyBean]

The Westboro Church where everyone is related. Can that really be a church or is it just a family gathering? John Stewart said it best a few years back; Westboro Baptist Church is no more a Church than Church's Chicken is a Church.

[Derka]

Man.

Fred Phelps spawned some seriously ugly daughters.

Its easy to hate on gays getting laid with ease when you're that f*cking wretched looking.

Meanwhile, someone else already said it best: these guys aren't bombing gay bars or decapitating coworkers who don't agree with their extremist world view. They're holding signs and being jerks. A few of them protested the funeral of an Army sergeant in my city and not one single f*ck was given about their presence there. They left and the world moved on.

This is true. I applaud Westboro for having the decency to stick to signs and shouting matches and not bombings and killings.

[IamRAMBO24]

Westboro needs to protest against ISH because there sure are a lot of phakkits in here.

[wakencdukest]

Westboro Baptist Church members are all dickheads. Protesting at funerals is about as despicable as you can get. Freedom of speech or not, I applaud anything that happens to them, aside from death of course. Beat downs, violation of their rights, humiliation, all good.

[Myth]

This makes me miss Portland even more. Bravo Portland :applause:

[embersyc]

I agree Westboro Baptist Church has the right to protest, but people have the right to protest them too.

I ran into them in Seattle over the summer (WBC) and they are not nice people quietly holding signs I disagree with. They are literally the ****ing scum of the earth and I have no sympathy for them.

[BasedTom]

American Protestants, ladies and gentlemen. The same people that deny evolution, protest soldier funerals, throw snakes on each other and play Kenny Chesney music in church.

Absolutely disgraceful.

[YouGotServed]

Westboro needs to protest against ISH because there sure are a lot of phakkits in here.:roll:

He's barely grazing by them after catching them off guard. You're making it sound like he destroyed them. Asik in particular looks pretty far away from Westbrook in that picture.
